Nature’s Plate, the go-to vegan eatery is now open at Preston Forest Square (11811 Preston Road, suite 101) in the NW quadrant next to Run On. The plant-based prepared meals concept with grab and and go fare as well as weekly meal plans is the second location of the eatery founded by sisters Annette Baker and Marianne Lacko.

Nature’s Plate started as a small business venture in 2011 and quickly expanded to a storefront and kitchen in East Dallas offering meals, snacks and desserts to-go and weekly meal plans. The Preston Forest location is also open 7 days a week and offers North Dallas an option for vegan meal plan pick-up.

Based on the belief that whole, plant-based foods are a big part of the answer to society’s biggest issues – including obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and general lack of health/vitality, Nature’s Plate make it easier to add real food to diets while cutting out processed, factory-farmed items. Plant-based foods have less impact on the environment than animal food, taking significantly less land and water to produce.

Additional weekly pick up locations are available in Plano at Lumin Health (4100 Mapleshade- Sunday, 4:30pm-6pm) and at Oak Cliff’s Local Press and Brew (1605 N. Beckley – Monday 4:30pm-7pm).
